Ever wondered what it’s really like to step on stage for a fitness competition in your 50s? In this episode, host Lisa DuPree pulls back the curtain on her very first FIT Model competition experience, from backstage jitters and early-morning glam to surprising results.

You’ll hear what it takes to prepare for a fitness show, how different competition divisions work (like True Novice, Masters 35+, and Open Class), and why Lisa believes midlife is the perfect time to go after bold, body-confident goals. If you’ve ever felt the pull to reinvent yourself, challenge your limits, or just feel strong and empowered again, this one’s for you.
